He appears to be much more a PM than most PMs. How much joy he brought to all

Paul Eddington is amazing. He should have gotten a bafta. RIP.

It would be better to say he should have "recieved" a baft 0/ 10 for English.

"And this has nothing to do with any consideration of improving my public image by associating myself with caring and compassionate causes." Some things never change XD

I almost forgot he wasn't prime minister.

Paul Eddington was absolutely amazing.

Decades down the line and he still makes me laugh

the pause '.....almost saintly'

I like how they never took a side in politics. They just showed how ridiculous it all is.

Brilliant actor, wished he got more recognition. RIP. Watching the series for the second time.

I bet they could have. Just not as _truthfully_ as Mr Hacker here does. Rest in Peace, Paul Eddington. You were wonderful.

Thank you. So funny. Rest in Peace

I sorely miss the trio: PM, Sir HA, & Bernard. This comedy brings back happy memories of those old and good days of my sojourn in the UK. I wish I could turn back the clock.

I think he's mimicking the style of PM's from the 1950's and early 60's - hence it looking stilted by comparison with today.

He can't help it. It's that deep-seated sincerity that does it.

Is that a bible that he was reading? How saintly.

Jim Hacker's character was incompetent - yes, but you always you got the feeling that underneath was a decent man. His utter helplessness regarding the detonators being used by nasty people showed that - and Paul Eddington's genius was to play him flip flopping trying to work out what was best for him/country/headlines !

When an actor acts as a PM instead of a PM acting as a drunk clown..

What year was this done?
